Understanding Our Species

Understanding Our Species

I am constantly being asked what my secrets are for regenerating and making the physical body vital again. There have been hundreds of books written about health and nutrition, most of which are variations on other people’s hypotheses or old ideas, which never seem to change. Some are plainly foolish. On the shelves of your local bookstore you will find books on blood types, mega-dosing with vitamins and minerals, high protein diets, and the like. Some of these programs are highly toxic to the body, in my experience, and actually kill many people each year.
I think health is much less complex than these books indicate. My approach is simply: Eat the foods that are biologically suited for your species. This might seem to be oversimplified or plain confusing, but let’s take a moment to explore and determine just what type of species we are.
Imagine yourself standing somewhere in the plains or jungles of Africa. Look out over a vast landscape and see elephants, giraffes, deer, hippos, silverback apes, chimpanzees, snakes, birds of all kinds, lions, cheetahs, and many other animals. Now if I ask you one simple question: “Which of these animals do we ‘homosapiens’ look like?” which one would you pick? The primates, of course. These are frugivores, as we are. Now some might say that this is far too simplistic a comparison on which to build our case. Okay then let’s kill (I would never) one animal from each species and bring them back to the lab. Let’s dissect each animal and look at its anatomy and physiology to determine which one we humans most resemble, internally.
The list that follows designates the four classes of vertebrates (carnivores, omnivores, herbivores and frugivores), highlighting the differences among them.

Urinary system:
Kidneys—(urine) alkaline
After dissecting and observing different species’ anatomical structures and physiological processes we come to the same conclusion: Humans are frugivores, like it or not.
The human is the only species that is confused about what to eat. As children we are instinctual in what we want to eat. I can fill a large table with every type of food that humans eat, and put a small child in front of the table. Guess which foods they will always go to? Fruits and flowers—the high energy, colorful foods. That is because we are frugivores, not omnivores. If a human were truly a carnivore, he or she would enjoy catching a live animal, ripping it apart, and eating it as it is … and I don’t know of too many people who enjoy this.
It is not difficult to understand that we need to start eating as our biological makeup demands. On top of this, we need to realize that no animal cooks its food before eating it. Zookeepers learned years ago never to feed cooked foods to any animal, as this will cause them to sicken and die. I don’t know of any veterinarian who encourages people to feed their house pets from the table. Why? Simple. Our pets will get the same diseases we have. Cooking your food destroys it. It changes the chemistry and severely reduces its electrical energy.
God intended food for life, not death. God is about life, energy, love and happiness. Of course, we can have the other too: depression, anger, hate and ego. It is always our choice. A healthy vital physical body can also make our emotional and mental bodies healthy. Health breeds awareness and joy for living, which most people have lost.
All of humankind is biologically the same. Our physiological processes and our anatomical makeup are virtually the same, whether we are from China, India or America. However, the consciousness (awareness), the activity level, and the parts of the body used all make a difference in the types of foods we generally eat or crave. Don’t make getting healthy complicated. Keep it simple. Foods can bind you to this world or set you free. If you have never experienced this, then start the journey now into a new world of vitality. Seek to be free from the chains of food addictions that undermine your health and create bondage to the lower aspects of God.
I invite you to become vital again and enjoy the rewards of life. Recondition your mind and retrain your emotions to enjoy the simplicity of eating raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Understand your species and eat the foods that will make your body healthy.

“The ancient Greeks, before the time of Lycurgus, ate nothing but fruit,” (Plutarch) and “each generation reached the age of 200 years.”

10 Ways To Be Successful

10 Ways To Be Successful

As you prepare to use the information presented in this book, here is an overview. This is what it takes to be successful. These ten principles or recommendations will help you tremendously in achieving success and the health and vitality you want from your detoxification and regeneration process. These points will be covered in depth as you continue to work with this book.
1. The diet is your number one key to success. What you eat, drink, breathe and what you put on your skin is how you bring the outside world in. Study and learn the concepts in this book about a raw food diet. The greater percentage of raw fruits and vegetables (salads) you eat, the greater your success will be. If you have cancer, a spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s or any other chronic or degenerative condition, you will want to consume a 100 percent raw, “live” food diet of fruits and vegetables (salads) only.
2. Invite the help of a healthcare professional who has experience in the use of raw foods and other natural detoxification procedures, like fasting. Especially with illnesses like cancer and other chronic, degenerative conditions, it is beneficial to have guidance and support throughout your healing process. Ultimately you are responsible for yourself, but there are many valuable resources to assist you in making this journey into vibrant health.
3. Find someone who is adept at “reading” the iris of the eye (a science known as iridology). This is one of nature’s greatest and, at present, only types of soft tissue analysis. It will give you a road map of your strengths and weaknesses. It will also indicate your congestive (lymphatic) and chemical accumulations. This is invaluable in helping you to address your glandular or organ weaknesses. For this I recommend an herbal (formula) program. Use herbs to address your cellular weaknesses and to move and clean your lymphatic system, GI tract, and lungs. (See Resource Guide for herbal companies that supply such formulas.)
Almost 100 percent of homo sapiens have glandular weaknesses. Begin this process by taking the “What Is Your Body Telling You” Self-Assessment Questionnaire found in Chapter 5 to determine yours.
Use the Basal Temperature Study Test (found in Appendix A) for thyroid function to determine your level of thyroid function. This is extremely important when considering calcium utilization and metabolism.
If you have high or especially low blood pressure, you know you have adrenal gland weakness. Again, check your Self-Assessment Questionnaire to determine other side effects of adrenal gland weaknesses.
4. Always “move” your lymph system. Everyone has a stagnant lymph system to one degree or another. All your cells need to eat and excrete, and your lymph system is your sewer system. Your lymph nodes are your septic tanks. Keep them cleaned out! Use an herbal formula for your kidneys and eat lots of fruits. Clean and enhance your GI tract with raw foods and a restorative intestinal herbal formula. Avoid laxatives or purgatives, acidophilus, bifidophilus, or any other intestinal flora. Your intestinal flora will restore itself. Exercise (like walking or swimming) is extremely important in moving your lymph system, especially in your lower extremities.
Let yourself sweat! Your skin is your largest eliminative organ. Keep it clean and stimulated with skin brushing, regular as well as hot-and-cold showers, and by sweating.
5. You will want to spend a month on an herbal parasite formula (see Resource Guide at the back of this book to find excellent herbal companies that carry these). This will help get rid of the larger worms, flukes, etc. It will also help reduce your microorganisms (candida, bacterias, etc.) that affect your desire for foods.
6. Clean your liver and enhance your pancreas for about a month or so before starting on your detoxification program. See Chapter 8 for suggestions about supporting and cleansing these organs with herbs and herbal formulas. If you have diabetes or you’re excessively thin you will probably need three months or so.
7. If you’re on chemical medications, don’t worry. There are very few possible interactions with this program and these herbal formulas. If you’re on high blood pressure medication, simply watch your blood pressure. This program can bring down your blood pressure fast. Use common sense. If your blood pressure is low, lowering it further with chemical meds might not be too smart. If your blood pressure is low, you must work to get it normalized by enhancing and regenerating your adrenal glands. Diabetes (Type II) is very easy to overcome in most cases. If you’re on insulin, watch your blood sugars. The same principle applies as with high blood pressure.

SCIENTIFIC FACTS
Most chemicals weaken and destroy cells. Chemotherapy causes high acidosis and destroys cells causing future cancer or the spreading (metastasis) of cancer.
Radiation inflames, burns and destroys cells (tissues), and can cause cancer to metastasize.

9. As you detoxify and regenerate, your body will go through symptoms of a “healing crisis.” This is normal, natural and positive. As you understand about the healing crisis you’ll understand what “diseases” truly are. See Chapter 5. Remember, disease symptoms manifest from two sources—congestion and cellular weakness.
10. Finally: Attitude, attitude, attitude! Enjoy what you’re doing. Always remember why you’re getting your body (or physical vehicle) healthy. Your body is your mobility in this physical world. Many of your weaknesses are genetically passed to you. Your toxicity may have developed in utero, so give it time to be released. Vibrant health in this world does not occur overnight. Sometimes it’s hard work—but well worth it. It connects you with life, love and God.
May the blessings be! 

A Person Journey - To live healthier without toxins

A Person Journey
I was raised in a small town in Indiana. The typical diet in this part of the country consisted of lots of dairy products, refined sugars, grains and, of course, meat three times a day. Dairy products and refined sugars are very mucus forming, consequently I became addicted to nose drops, as my sinus cavities were always blocked. I also developed severe constipation, which led to bleeding hemorrhoids. Along with all this came migraine headaches, about every three days. When I was taken to one specialist after another, the stories I would hear, hypothesizing over the cause of these severe headaches, after a while became a joke. Obesity was another side effect of this type of diet. If I were not connected consciously to God in these early years, depression would have overcome my life. My love for God and life has always dominated my life, giving me an inward joy.
In the late 1960s I became a raw-food eater. I was reading books by Ehret, Jensen, Hotema, Mc-Faddin, Tilden (see Bibliography), and a dozen other great healers, about the common sense concepts of not destroying the foods you eat before you eat them. I read about breatharianism and the ability to live off of oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, etc. Since all elements are made up of these higher atoms in the first place, it made sense to me that if our consciousness was in the right place we could survive at this level. Souls that survive at this level are known as “God eaters.” Since I wanted to know God more than anything else, this fit perfectly for me. I decided I would live in remote areas and attempt this level of consciousness. Becoming a hermit, I started the process of eliminating the heavy or low-vibrational foods, including meats and grains. I also wanted to stop eating vegetables, which left me with a diet of only fruits and nuts. Finally, I decided to get away from all acid-forming foods as well, so I stopped eating the nuts. With those choices I had become what is called a “fruitarian.” I lived exclusively on fresh, raw fruits.

Nature’s Way
Natural (nature’s) health is not alternative medicine. Natural health is traditional medicine.
Nature’s way is hundreds of thousands of years old. Chemical medicine is only 125 years old.
Since the advent of chemical medicine, disease has skyrocketed.
Medicine should only consist of natural remedies that alkalize, clean and regenerate the body.

My goal was still to attempt to live on pure air only. I had read about a Catholic nun who lived high in the mountains of Tibet and only ate snow, and about several others who had reportedly obtained this same refined level of survival. To move in this direction, my next step was to limit my fruit eating to one type only. According to my plan, after several months on one type of fruit I could then stop all intake of food as we know it and I would have obtained my goal. Of course this was a very radical approach to experiencing God, but I had set my mind on it and had strong self-discipline. I read a lot of Professor Hotema’s work on the power of organic oranges as a complete food so I decided that these would be my only food.
I was a fruitarian for approximately four years, out of which I lived six months exclusively on oranges. I had discovered a special organic orange garden created by a person I considered to be a very high soul. Nature must have been looking out for me during those times because this orange garden had a bumper crop, and the grower was able to supply me with navel oranges for the entire year.
During this period as a fruitarian I began to experience the truth of Arnold Ehret’s work about the tremendous rejuvenational powers of the body. I could cut myself and feel no pain. There was no bleeding, and the wound would be healed in the next day or two. Remember that my goal was to stop eating the oranges and live exclusively on air! But the problem was that my energy levels became so high that I couldn’t stay in my body. I was traveling “out of body” into some of the most magnificent worlds of God that exist beyond the normal human experience. I felt like I merged with God, leaving “me” behind. I became unlimited. I had no point of reference, as I wanted or desired nothing. I was totally fulfilled. My love for God and all life intensified beyond words. The difficulty was that I was young, physically, and I was immature with this level of God realization. As I could not communicate in this world anymore, especially with humans, I decided, for survival’s sake, that I needed to “ground” myself and go on to teach others about the tremendous healing power of raw foods and the unlimited awareness that we each possess. So, after several years of living in remote areas I moved back to “civilization.” I knew then that I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others rejuvenate themselves and to teaching the beauty of God to a world that starves for both.
Since that point I have opened several health food stores and become degreed as a biochemist, naturopath, master herbalist and iridologist. I have been teaching about God and vitality ever since, and traveling throughout the world sharing with others the magic and secrets of health. I had a small clinic in Portugal for a number of years and I represented the United States several times in worldwide symposiums.
Twenty-five years ago I opened a health clinic that I still manage. Based on my experiences I can tell you that there are no incurable diseases, only incurable people. I have also spent many years working in emergency medicine, which used to be one of my hobbies, and I have seen both allopathic medicine and traditional (herbal) medicine in action. While emergency medicine is fantastic, allopathic medicine, in general, kills hundreds of thousands of people per year, while traditional medicine (or botanical medicine) saves hundreds of thousands of lives per year. I invite you to join me in learning and using God’s natural laws to heal and rejuvenate yourself.
My work has been both inspired and supported by the work of Dr. Bernard Jensen, a world-renowned healer and author of many outstanding books (see Bibliography). Years ago, Dr. Jensen consulted me about his wife’s health and we became instant friends. We immediately recognized a spiritual bond, as we shared a similar passion for and commitment to a mission of love and healing. The Detox Miracle Sourcebook reflects our experiences and viewpoints on true healing.
Always seek truth. Open your heart totally to God. If you desire anything, desire God. All else will come to you. Always be and give love. Become alive again (in all your bodies) physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

Introduction of - To live healthier without toxins by Robert Morse

Introduction

Welcome to a fantastic journey into vitality. Health is one of our greatest assets, and many refer to the body as a temple, or a vehicle that carries around the true Self while we’re on this planet. However, we often treat our cars better than we treat our bodies.
The information contained in this book was not taken from double-blind studies, from misconstrued facts and figures of treatment agencies, or from “bought-and-paid-for” scientific research. I wrote this book based on thirty years of self-experience, and from clinical observation of thousands of patients who used my programs to overcome their toxic conditions and diseases.
Basically, we have two choices to make when we develop a condition or disease: Treatment or Detoxification. If we choose treatment, we have two additional choices. The first choice is allopathic (pharmaceutical) medicine, which is the status-quo medical or chemical approach. The second choice is natural (traditional) medicine, which uses products made from natural sources or herbs to treat the symptoms. If we choose the allopathic approach to “fight” our disease, it is important to understand that allopathic medicine offers only three types of treatment for any condition: chemical medicines, radiation or surgery.
Pharmaceutical companies spend a lot of money developing drugs and training medical (allopathic) doctors in how to use these chemical medicines in the presence of disease. But, “curing” the disease (in the sense of removing its cause, not just its symptoms) is not a part of this type of thinking. Diseases are incurable in the allopathic approach—which is a totally a “treatment”-based modality. Chemical medicines are used for everything from simple headaches and fevers to degenerative conditions, like Parkinson’s disease or cancer.
The second form of treatment in allopathic medical procedures is some type of burning or radiation. This is used in most diagnostic procedures (X-rays, for example) and some treatment procedures, especially but not limited to cancer.
The third procedure that the allopathic medical profession can use to treat a problem or condition is surgery. Surgery is simply the removal of “bad” tissue that is causing the problem. If the disease is cancer of the breast, simply remove the breast and the patient is “cured.”
Natural medicine, or what I will refer to as “traditional medicine,” differs from the allopathic approach. Natural medicine simply treats disease with natural products (those made from animal, plant or mineral substances) or herbs, which are found in nature. The science of natural medicine has been around for hundreds of thousands of years, at one level or another.
Most of the substances used in natural medicine have no damaging side effects, while most chemical medicines have some degree of harmful side effects. However, it is fair to say that some natural products used without proper wisdom can still create harm. Supplementing calcium in the presence of a parathyroid weakness, for example, results in stone formation or excessive free calcium. In general, the diagnostic procedures used in natural medicine including iridology, kinesiology, pulsing, hair or tissue analysis, and many others are non-invasive and not harmful to the patient whatsoever.
Most health care systems today, including allopathic, naturopathic and homeopathic medicine, are treatment-based modalities. Treating symptoms never cures the “causes.” Until a genuine cure has been effected, we will always be suffering in some form. The alternative to treatment is True Naturopathy (detoxification) a little known science of nature that has been used for hundreds of years, by hundreds of thousands of people and animals worldwide. It has restored health and vitality to their physical, emotional and mental bodies. Detoxification encompasses the sciences of chemistry, biochemistry, botanical science and physics, and has always been at the heart of true healing. For that reason, detoxification should be at the heart of natural medicine today, but has been forgotten in our modern world of “treatment.”
Detoxification is not a system of treatment or a way to remove symptoms; it is a system of curing by addressing the cause of the disease. It involves the understanding that the body is the healer, and that energy is at the core of healing. It also sheds light on the true cause of disease— the destruction of energy. Energy or the destruction of energy results from what we eat, drink, breathe, put on our skin, and from what we think and feel. These are the six ways we either make ourselves healthy and vital, or sick and weak.
Naturopathy is the purest form of healing. Its procedures and diagnostic tools are all totally non-invasive, and at its core are alkalization and detoxification, which will be explained in great depth throughout this book. The Detox Miracle Sourcebook is about this second option, true healing through detoxification and its related sciences. However, the approach taken here never puts science above the power of God and nature, as science is only the study of what already is.
My success with true detoxification in chronic and degenerative issues has been recognized worldwide. Out of 100 people who come to us with various types of cancer, approximately 70 percent cure themselves, 20 percent can’t do the program and 10 percent are too advanced or don’t want to live. Our success with regeneration in spinal cord injuries is also phenomenal: a thirty-two-year-old female, who had severed her upper cervical spine (a C3-C4 spinal cord severation) twelve years previously, came to our clinic. In eleven months she had complete feeling and movement throughout her body. A young Amish man who had a tractor accident, which left him a quadriplegic at the C4-C5 level, in six months had total feeling in his toes.
One of the hardest parts of this program is working with the mind. Like a computer, you get out what you put in. This book will supply you with the most up-to-date and thorough information you need to feed your mind and thus educate yourself about the miraculous healing system of your body. It will cover some physiology, chemistry, physics and nutrition all in a way that you can understand and immediately use. It will also encourage you to “change your mind” from one of toxic thinking to one of natural and pure thinking.
Most people live to eat; I would like you to start thinking about eating to live, and this book will show you how to do that. What you eat has a direct effect upon your health, and I have proven this year-in and year-out on hundreds of clients. I have seen cancer, time and time again, cleaned out by the body. Also, diabetes, coronary artery disease and arthritis all eliminated. I have seen spinal cord injuries reconnect and nerve damage from strokes, multiple sclerosis and the like, heal.
There is no magic or mystery to health or disease. Disease is a natural process! When we understand how the body works, and what causes the tissues in the body to fail, we will then understand what causes disease symptoms, and how to reverse it.
This book will take you on a journey with many important stops along the way. You will learn about the species your physical body comes from; how your body works; the nature of disease. And finally, what health is. One of the premises of this book is that health is really very simple, yet we spend a large part of our time and money trying to achieve it. The Detox Miracle Sourcebook will help you to understand your species, and encourage you toward eating in harmony with your anatomical, physiological and biochemical processes. This will give you vitality and a disease-free life.
Allow yourself the time and discipline to become alive again through detoxification! Put your heart, self-discipline and soul into it. Detoxification will be one of the greatest things you do for yourself in your lifetime.
NOTE: As this book was written for the healthcare practitioner and lay person alike, some chapters are more scientifically based than others. For myself, I say: “Keep it simple!” Pass over those chapters that might confuse you at first. Come back later and read them to better understand your body and how it works. Your body is a very complex machine, but keeping it healthy is very simple.

“Duolingo Intro.en.txt”

It's a big world out there.

Billions of us trying to live, love, prosper,

and make sense of our brief time on this planet.

Since the dawn of humanity, we've been passing

information from one person to another through

a common language.

Unfortunately, you can't communicate with others

without knowing or learning their language first.

A similar issue is manifested on the web where

text can be penned in dozens of different languages,

each of which demands a reader's fluency.

We've developed an elegant solution to both

problems -- a way for you to learn a language for

free, while at the same time helping to translate

text from the web, enabling a wealth of

language-shackled information to be liberated for

all of humanity. It's called "duolingo".

Here's how it works: Let's say you're a native

English speaker who wants to learn Spanish.

We start by giving you a sentence from a Spanish

web site and asking you to translate it.

Wait. Back up.

How can you translate a language you don't know?

First, duolingo only gives you sentences that fit

your language level. Beginners get the really simple

sentences from the web and advanced users get the

more complex ones.

This way, everybody becomes a valuable translator.

And second, if you're really lost, you can always

see possible translations for words you don't know.

Afterwards, duolingo helps you understand and

memorize the words you hovered over through

educational examples.

You can also vote on the quality of other students'

translations, which helps you learn by seeing how

others translated the same sentence.

And because you create valuable translations while

you learn, we return the favor by offering duolingo

completely free of charge: no ads, no hidden fees,

no subscriptions. Just free.

To put the potential benefit of duolingo into

perspective, think about this: if one million

people would use duolingo to learn, the entirety

of English Wikipedia could be translated to Spanish

in just 80 hours.
